The Council adjourned from the regular meeting of November 17, 1981, to ��
this time and place to hear reports on the negotiations between the Mobile y�
� -
Home Park owners and the tenants thereof, and to take any necessary action f%h
Attorney Holmes explained the packets he was presenting to Council as the
'4 same ordinances they had received for the special meeting of October 29
-;a 1981. They are patterned after those of the cities of Ventura, Chino, and
,r
Carlsbad, and are being presented with and without urgency clauses. He
explained that the urgency clause is not necessary for the reason that the
ordinances contain a section fixing the permitted rent as that in effect
on October 1, 1981. He added that without an urgency clause, ordinance
adoption requires only a three AYE vote, rather than four.
air Mr. Orville Zappe of Lugonia Fountains spoke briefly, stated that the
Lugonia Fountain tenants want the Ventura ordinance because the others
establish periods of negotiations; the Lugonia Fountain tenants have alreaay 'i
t attempted negotiation for 120 days. Mr. Zappe explained that their attorneyj-z
� was out of town this week. He then expressed the appreciation of the tenant
a! of both parks for the time and effort the Council has put into this problem.
" Mr. Lange Buchl reported that all attempts to meet with Mr. Billings, owner,
s,
of Orange Grove Estates, have proven futile.

Mr. Arthur Gregory, a Redlands resident, described his experience as the
, developer and twenty-year owner of a mobile home park, listed the costs
per space, the value of coaches and spaces, the inflation factors and the
2� position of both the tenant and the park owner. He concluded by bringing
Council attention to a possible property tax loss the City might sustain
in the event the park owner should obtain a lowered tax assessment as a
('�'�s result of a rent control ordinance.

Dr. Roth expressed sympathy for the plight of the mobile home residents,
denigrated the greed of the park owners, stated that he would vote "No" �
on this ordinance because he believed it would create more problems. Mrs. �} k
�,y Riordan also disapproved of this ordinance and expressed a preference for
1p", the Chino ordinance. Mr. Martinez expressed concerns but stated that Ns
Council must aid the mobile home owners. j 11(`
